Gary and Owen from Genspeed kindly gave me a lift to the NEC for the Expo Show on Monday. I met several new companies who may come on board.
I also met Troy Corser, the superbike rider, and ex-world champion. What a nice bloke! It was pleasure to talk to him.

Jonathan at Advanced Fuel Systems was pleased to see me at the Autosports Show, and they are waiting to make our fuel cell.
I spoke to several other firms who expressed an interest in sponsoring us, so I hope they come on board the project because it will help decrease the financial load.

Jason and Mick at Eurolec are busy sorting out our engine starter system, so thanks to them. Had a good discussion with them at the Autosports show, and they are keen to help us.
Kevin Samujh has come up trumps and paid for the superchargers, so thanks Kevin, you are a star!
Rotrex are sorting out the practicalities with Dan and then they can be delivered!
Gary at Genspeed has sorted out the generator I have just bought and checked it all over for me, so thanks to him, Owen and Jaiden.

I spoke to Gary at Genspeed on Tuesday, and he has ordered the steel to make the test exhausts. Sam is going to make the collars, and then they can be taken down to be installed. Another piece of the jigsaw.

The team had a very good meeting on Sunday. Then main news is that Metalcraft have started to machine the wheels. They have agreed to also machine the hubs, so finally this aspect has been settled.
The chassis looks superb now that Stu has got the stabiliser legs mounted. The engine just needs a couple of mounts fitting, and the chain runs are fine, which was a little worrying previously because we knew it was going to be tight.
The team discussed how to make better progress, and with everyone pulling together things will happen quickly.
